Henna is a plant (Lawsonia Inermis) which naturally grows in most Old World
Countries such as Egypt, Morocco, North Africa, and Persia. Its leaves are dried in the sun and then crushed into a fine powder.

Fine henna powder is combined with lemon juice, and sugar to create a perfect
100% natural staining paste. Not all henna paste is equal. Some use teas, artifical colorings, coffee, oils and chemical dyes to achieve a darker color. Even simple additonal items could be dangerous and have adverse reactions. So ask questions! It’s your skin keep it healthy and beautiful.

Henna body art is temporary. As your skin layers slowly exfoliate, the henna stain will completely disappear! The henna plant has been used for centuries, cosmetically and for homeopatic remedies. henna is safe, for use on children and
expectant mothers!

Your design will last from 7 to 14 days
depending on the length of time the paste remains in contact with the skin,
the area of body that it is applied to, how much the area is exposed to chemicals & water, and how quickly your skin exfoliates. The darkest designs are achieved by applying them where your skin is thickest (ie: palms of the hand and soles of the feet).

The henna paste should be left on the skin
for as long as possible. (Typically 8- 12
hours). The longer the paste remains on
the skin, the darker the design will be.

The henna paste will begin to dry, harden and flake off. To prolong this process, apply a mixture of lemon juice/sugar solution with a cotton swab to the hennaed area.

You can apply this solution as often as
you like or whenever the paste appears
dry. This will help moisten the paste so
that it can continue staining the skin. Do
not use water to remove.

When adequate time has elapsed remove the henna pastewith the side of a butter knife by gently scraping the area. After removal of thepaste, you can shower / bathe as usual. Thecolor will change from orange to a deeper reddish-brown over the next 24 - 48 hrs.

Apply the area with Tiger Balm or
Vaseline before bathing or swimming to
help protect your design.
